[] February 5, 2010 7:51 a.m. EST The article "African Union urges United Nations to halt al-Bashir case" from CNN is about Omar al-Bashir, who was the President of Sudan. He was already charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity, but the newest charge he is accused for is genocide. The article also deals with the affects the decision about wether he is guilty of genocide or not. "A genocide charge could further isolate Sudan, but it could also mobilize African nations around Sudan." said the article. I think Omar al-Bashir should be charged for genocide because there have been 300,000 people killed, and 2.5 million have been forced from their homes and I think that is pretty much what genocide is about.

I agree with you that Omar should be charged with genocide. In my mind if you toke part in killing or people of a certain race you commited a genocidel crime. - Zeb Blackstock

linda ** I agree with you that he should be charged for his crimes. It makes me really upset when someone commits a crime and isn't man enough to confess up to it. I surely hope he is punished for his crimes wether it was genocide or not. I would say it was genocide though because people were forced out of their homes without choice and killed. **** -Ridge **
